What is bittersweet symphony about

Bittersweet Symphony by Rebecca McNutt

In the concrete jungles of corporate New York, a skyscraper stands in a faded industrial brownfield. The Madson Tower, a place notorious for murders and cases of deadly negligence, has attracted the interests of CEO Tony Barone and his team of employees. Sure, the landlord might be a bit creepy, Tonys daughter might be seeing things that arent real, but the cheap rental price is definitely a steal! If Tony wasnt such a skeptic himself, he might be able to see the horrible things surrounding him. Maybe then he would notice the strange fires starting up through the building. Maybe then hed notice his lawyers clients are all turning up dead. Are his employees just being too panicky, or is there something more sinister at work? If Tony doesnt figure out what to do soon, he and his advertising agency might just become more casualties of a structure that eats people alive.

The Verve Bittersweet Symphony Analysis

An alternative rock song released in it was the band's first single to be released, it hit top of the charts 2nd in UK and hitting charts worldwide. The title 'Bittersweet Symphony' refers to the hardships we all face through life, the times where we're both doing good and bad taking all the unfortunate and fortunate things in life. The narrator implies often expression in hope for citing music as an important factor in this 'I let the melody shine let it cleanse my mind I feel free now" although the 'bitter' aspect is always sung straight afterwards 'but the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now'. He realizes he could change for the better now and live life meaningful, if it were just him to him to change he would but the circumstances in life has trapped him limiting his choices, his job, his bills, and his family. He won't accept it because it's the only life he will have, he's on the verge of breaking and can't take living life without meaning, at his most desperate time he begins to pray for help, he feels it's possible to break free of his mundane life but after his prayer god does not answer and he is back to being trapped. He has no idea what to do and finds himself just as discouraged and helpless as before. There must be more to life than this "Vanity, vanity: all is vanity and striving after the wind".

Play "Bittersweet Symphony" on Amazon Music. This song is about life, the title 'Bittersweet Symphony' refers to the ups and downs of life. The song deffinately has a great sense of irony about it, the lyrics, 'try to make ends meet, your a slave to money till you die' have a message of inevitablitiy about them. The song furthers this idea of the inevitability of life with the lyrics, I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down, you know the one that takes you to the places where all of ends meet yeah'. The 'places' in this case are the end of life or the end of the road in the metaphorical sense the song uses. The 'Bittersweet' aspect can also be see in the lyrics, the singer often expresses hope citing music as an important factor in this 'I let the melody shine let it clense my mind I feel free now'. However the 'bitter' aspect is always shown straight afterwards 'but the airways are clean and theres nobody singing to me now'.
